Anchorage Digital, home to the only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, has expanded its support for JitoSOL. Institutional clients can now custody, mint, and redeem JitoSOL end-to-end inside the Anchorage platform, with the same workflow rolling out soon to Porto, Anchorage’s self-custody wallet.
Why this matters
- The entire user experience is in one streamlined venue: Custody, mint, and redeem activities all happen behind Anchorage’s HSM-secured walls; no more shuttling SOL in and out of external wallets.
- Bank-grade infrastructure for Solana staking: Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. remains the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., while Anchorage Digital Singapore holds an MAS MPI licence.
- Enhances liquidity-friendly staking: JitoSOL has many benefits including the ability to be used as collateral at prime brokers and banks, or on other DeFi applications. JitoSOL is structured as a continuously compounded total return product that accrues both staking and MEV rewards over time.
- Lays the groundwork for future products: Staking-enabled ETFs need in-kind creation/redemption, deep liquidity, and bank-grade custody. Anchorage’s native mint-and-redeem flow gives JitoSOL all three, positioning it perfectly for future ETF (and other institutional) products.
